I am trying to build udisks, ultimately. It gives me:

You have built the ancient version of polkit, it seems (polkit-gobject-1 >= 0.97 is a clue here.) From the polkit-0.110 .footprint: usr/lib/libpolkit-gobject-1.la usr/lib/libpolkit-gobject-1.so -> libpolkit-gobject-1.so.0.0.0 usr/lib/libpolkit-gobject-1.so.0 -> libpolkit-gobject-1.so.0.0.0 usr/lib/libpolkit-gobject-1.so.0.0.0 So, you don't need gobject-introspection, just last version of polkit. And udisks is dead(?), udisks2 is now stable, afaict (I have both installed, too lazy atm to figure out which one gvfs wants :) ) Next time more details would be helpful, like which version of what are you trying to build, using whose ports from where, that kind of stuff. I have yet to figure out how to configure PolicyKit or polkit to behave sanely under XFCE, when mount and umount of external drives and usb sticks are concerned, but that is an another rant. hth Pedja
